Ankhon Dekhi film review: One’s existence can elude them while being consumed by the pursuit of future aspirations. In an era where the priority of mere subsistence eclipses the essence of existence, can one attain the ability to fully embrace the present moment?
‘Ankhon Dekhi’, a cinematic creation by Rajat Kapoor, delves into this very intricately interwoven concepts of perception and reality. This makes the movie a masterpiece of profound philosophical significance.
‘Ankho Dekhi’ film, is a rare gem in the world of cinema that challenges the traditional notions of storytelling. It breaks free from all the possible conventional norms of commercial cinema.
Ankhon Dekhi film: A Cinematic Exploration of Perception and Reality
The film “Ankhon Dekhi” revolves around the life of ‘Bauji’ (Sanjay Mishra), a middle-aged man who lives with his family in a small apartment in Old Delhi. ‘Bauji’ is a man of principles who believes in experiencing everything before accepting it as truth. This gives him a strong urge to explore the meaning of life and the nature of reality.
In a scene where protagonist (Sanjay Mishra) encounters an incident that challenges his moral belief system, he instead of being puttered and perplexed, chooses to ponder and that adds extra philosophical beauty to the film “Ankhon Dekhi”.
‘Bauji’ (Sanjay Mishra) decides to take a vow of not believing anything that he has not seen with his own eyes. This decision leads to a series of events that changes his life and the lives of people around him, raising several philosophical questions about the nature of reality, perception and human behaviour. The movie beautifully explores and delves into the depths of how our beliefs shape our perception of reality, and how our perceptions, in turn, influence our behaviour.

Unjustly overlooked
The Hindi Cinema industry has repeatedly gifted the world with cinematic masterpieces that explore a diverse array of themes and issues. From Anand to Raincoat and countless others, Hindi filmmakers have skilfully crafted works of art that stimulate critical thinking and provide viewers with a rational framework for grappling with life’s complexities.
Ankhon Dekhi is also one such indubitable film that makes into the list of this elite pantheon of cinematic gems, which continue to inspire passionate appreciation and admiration among audiences worldwide.
With Sanjay Mishra, an actor with extraordinary ability to seamlessly embody any character forging an undeniable connection with audience, and Rajat Kapoor at storytelling end with all the supporting cast on and off screen makes the movie an unignorable and arguably one of best work in Hindi cinema.
But sadly, the movie with international accolades, which has garnered international critical acclaim, failed to attain commercial success. This resulted in it being unjustly relegated to the ranks of overlooked and underrated gems of B-Town.
